1) Is it possible to cross-compile on Linux 32 bit to produce an

In Linux Bo, if you want to write in 64 bit you load the version of Fedora 7 that is totally 64 bit. This is the f7 x86-64 distribution and different than Microsoft, you can download this free. Then you can compile in C or C++ with 64 bit. No need to cross/compile.


Yes, I understand that in 64bit Linux you would be able to compile for
the 64bit platform....
But our development machines are mostly (95%) Windows 32bit systems
and I had in mind to use VirtualPC in order to have the developers
running Linux on their own Windows machines for compiles etc.
Then we would use a single hardware Linux machine for actual testing.

Unfortunately VirtualPC2007 does not support loading anything else
than 32 bit operating systems into a virtual machine, so we are left
with that. We use VPC2007 a lot for testing purposes, so we are
comfortable with that system except for the 64bit support (or lack
thereof).

Hi Bo, sorry but I am ignorant about Windows. I have been just Linux for many years. Each year Linux seems to get better. That doesn't seem to hold for Windows. I think WindowsXP with all the updates is a pretty good operating system. Vista seems to have been an error.
